LIMERICK, Maine (WMTW) - A Limerick man was arrested on charges including unlawful sexual contact after a brief standoff with Maine State Police Tuesday evening.

Troopers went to 35 Emery Corner Road in Limerick at around 6:40 p.m. to arrest 49-year-old Michael Cacace on an active warrant. Police say the suspect ran back inside the building upon arrival, prompting officers to surround the home and begin phone negotiations.

After 30 minutes, Cacace came out of his residence where officers took him into custody. He was then transported to York County Jail, where he is facing charges of Unlawful Sexual Contact and two counts of Violating Conditions of Release.

According to state police, there was no threat to neighboring residents and no disruption of traffic during the short standoff.

Cacace is being held without bail pending a court appearance.
